Polish roads modern pedestrian crossings.With wifi and cameras

"This is a comprehensive solution addressed to road managers.The technology is to protect residents when they are on the road or in the immediate vicinity of the passage.Our solution is energy -saving and can be easily integrated with the existing urban infrastructure " - said on Friday the spokesman of the group Tauron Łukasz Zimnoch, emphasizing that" Smart "technologies can significantly contribute to improving safety in cities - also at pedestrian crossings.

The statistics show that the vast majority of cases involving pedestrians occur at designated transitions.One of the reasons may be limited visibility at the passage itself and in its immediate surroundings - the passages are badly lit, and people do not wear reflections that in built -up areas are not mandatory.Therefore, part of the solution proposed by Tauron is precise control of the light stream at the crossing, thanks to cameras recognizing motility of movement.By changing the intensity of light or e.g..Calling fibrillation can be warned with both pedestrians and a driver from potential danger.

Thanks to the solutions used towards the oncoming driver, warning light signals are emitted - including six points.The driver, before he gets to the transition, is informed about the need to exercise special caution.A sound system emitting pedestrian messages is also installed at the transition.As Tauron informed, the first transition of this type is in Nysa (Opolskie).

Depending on your needs, transitions can be equipped with many additional functionalities, e.g..Internet hotspot or cameras monitoring the passage and its surroundings.You can also install speed radars that control the warning signal and even mount the life defibrillator.The result is to improve the safety and comfort of residents.

Intelligent pedestrian crossings are another initiative of the Tauron group in the field of Smart City solutions.In UB.year, in cooperation with Ericsson, the group initiated a project to develop services in Wrocław for the needs of an intelligent city using the Internet of Things.This is the first undertaking of this type in Poland, implemented for a large city.

The Wrocław project assumes M.in.Air quality monitoring using sensors mounted in parks in various parts of the city.On this basis, a special application is to designate areas where the conditions are conducive to spending time outside, and predict air quality changes several hours in advance.The parking management system will also be developed (residents will get information about the occupancy of parking spaces) and a system signaling the filling of garbage bins at stops and intersections.
